In my network I assign a private IP to the CPE and a 'similar' IP to the
customer.
For instance if I assign 10.1.1.100 to the customer then I assigned
10.101.1.100 to the CPE. Easy to remember the CPE address given the
customers IP.
Each AP gets it's own class C. I then do 1 to 1 NAT at the edge of my
network for the customer if they need an external IP address. I have
yet to find an instance where this has been an issue for the customer.
From outside my network I VPN in to be able to access my
infrastructure. I don't think I would want to give my CPEs (or any
other infrastructure) public routable network addresses.

Ok, this may be a simple question, but I'm trying to figure the best
way to do this. My wireless network is currently all bridged with
three different POP's (all statically assigned private IP's). I'm
getting requests for public IP addresses and as I add more clients, I
feel like I'm really going to need to have a routed network.
My biggest question is, how do you manage your CPE remotely in a
routed network? Right now I'm pretty much 90% Tranzeo gear (mixture
of CPE-15's and CPQ gear). If a customer calls with performance or
other problems, I'm able to log into their CPE from here to see what's
going on from that end. I would much rather maintain that ability but
not sure how to do that with a routed network.
Also, I would ideally like to have a public IP assigned to each CPE.
The double NAT'ing I've got going right now has been causing a few
issues, plus, I'm getting more business customers that want VPN and
Remote Access to their network.
I realize this will take subnetting to make it happen. I've got a /24
right now and can easily bump to more when needed.
How are the rest of you handling your setups like this?
Thanks in advance!
